Question 1 of 5

John Kennedy was a senator before he _____ President in 1960.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'was elected.' This choice is the most appropriate as it correctly indicates the action of being chosen through a voting process in the past. In this context, 'was elected' is the right verb form to show that John Kennedy became President in 1960 after winning an election. The other choices are incorrect: 'became' is a simple past verb form that doesn't convey the electoral process, 'was made' implies a passive action rather than an active election, and 'become' is not the correct past tense form needed in this sentence.

Question 2 of 5

The Ramifications of a course of treatment are that treatment's ______

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'B: Consequences.' Ramifications refer to the consequences of a particular course of action or treatment. In this context, 'Effectiveness' (Choice A) is not the most appropriate term as ramifications are more about the results or outcomes beyond just effectiveness. 'Complications' (Choice C) are adverse effects or issues that arise, not necessarily the overall consequences. 'Outcomes' (Choice D) is close in meaning but not as synonymous with ramifications as 'Consequences' is.

Question 3 of 5

He tried to remember the names of all the people who were there that night.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In this context, 'who' is the correct relative pronoun to refer to people. 'That' is used for things, 'which' is used for animals or things, and 'whom' is an object pronoun, not needed in this sentence. Therefore, 'who' is the most appropriate choice.

Question 4 of 5

When patients are being counseled, what is happening?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: When patients are being counseled, they are being advised or guided. Counseling involves providing support, guidance, and advice to help patients cope with their challenges. Choice A is incorrect because counseling is not about discharging patients. Choice C is incorrect because counseling is the opposite of neglect; it is actively providing support. Choice D is incorrect because while comfort may be a part of counseling, the primary focus is on providing guidance and advice to address issues, not just comfort.

Question 5 of 5

He has 3 DISCRETE symptoms, causing the doctor to create an elaborative plan of care.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The term 'discrete' means individually separate and distinct. Therefore, the most appropriate choice to describe the symptoms that are distinct and separate from each other is 'separate' (option D). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not convey the specific meaning of the term 'discrete' as separate and distinct.
